"My fear is not to find him, and something happened to him," said Analilia Perales, Jorge's mother.

Desperation from a mother looking for answers into her son Jorge Garza Perales' disappearance.

Analilia Perales says she last texted her son on the night of Aug. 21.  He told her about a job he was doing the next morning. Perales says she told him, 'God bless you and goodnight.'

"He didn’t answer me several times. He would call me in the morning, but after that morning, the day went by and he stopped answering," said Perales.

Analilia says even though she lived in Mexico, they kept in constant contact multiple times a day. Concerned, Jorge's family came from Mexico to search for him.

When they arrived, she said they found all his belonging, clothes, watch, jewelry, his work truck, but his car a silver 4-Door 2012 Nissan Sentra with Texas License Plate SSS 6443 was gone, as well as his two roommates.

"The neighbors told us that they (the roommates) left the other day. They took their things and left," said Perales

Jorge's mother says they have spoken with neighbors who says Jorge was a good man and a hard worker, and would help out other neighbors.

The family has posted missing person fliers and spoken with several neighbors to try and find Jorge. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation and says Jorge is 5'8" with brown eyes and black hair.

Analilia wants anyone with information to come forward, including his roommates.

"I’m so sad. There are times where I think this isn’t real, and it’s all a dream," said Perales

To get her through this difficult time, Analilia says she is relying on her family standing by her side and her faith in God.

"If you’re watching, my son, come back. If there’s a problem, we’ll get through it together," said Perales.
